Well, I just picked it up this morning... took it into work... opened the nice carrying case... and the back says 512k. Sigh. I'll have to open it up and take a peek at the guts, b…

Found a 128k that needs work for $150 on ebay. Got $12 Bing cashback and $3 ebay bucks. 8-o It's the early model that just says "Macintosh" on the back, no "128k" after it. …

While rummaging through my magic plastic shoe boxes™, for the IIfx/CD Tune-Up Post, I found my disassembled (imagine me having one of those : ) 1400 KBD! So while arranging for a…

Fellow 68kmla'er wthww gave me a SCSI DVD-RAM drive last July, but I've never done anything with it. If someone figures out what drivers are needed, I too would be interested.

I think most of them have the coating, even as far back as the 128k. My 128k has it, I just assumed they all did. Here's a photo of the guts of a 128k, with the coating:http://kcom…

It wasn't necessarily a matter of functionality, since I already have a 512k, 512ke, and 3 Pluses. It was more for getting something I didn't already have. This 512k does have a SC…
